As I began to research his whereabouts today, I learned that Don had passed away in 1998, at the tender age of 52. His memory has been immortalized in Bakersfield with the formation of the Don Glover Masters Tournament at AMF Southwest Lanes. Last year’s event was postponed after a ten year run, but officials stated that the 11th annual edition will be contested in 2019.

PWBA continued from page 1 was going to stay committed to what got me here. Every shot I executed well in the title match was really, really good, but each of those 3-6-10s were poorly executed. I just made some bad shots." O'Keefe stayed clean in the eighth and ninth frames, which gave Crawley, who rolled a strike in the ninth frame, the opportunity to deliver a pair of strikes in the 10th frame for the chance to claim her first career PWBA Tour title. Crawley got to the pocket on her first shot but was un- able to get the 10 pin to fall, putting O'Keefe in the position to mark for victory. "I was so, so worried that those two spares I missed earlier in the match were going to cost me," O'Keefe said. "When I was looking at the 4 pin in the 10th, I just told myself to make it. I was very happy when I saw my spare shot was on line and there was no doubt I was making it. It definitely was a relief." Crawley finished as the runner-up for the fourth time in her career, but she's walking away knowing the extra work she's put into preparing for this season is starting to pay off. "Honestly, I threw both 2-8-10s really well and was happy with them in the moment," Crawley said. "Ob- viously, the lane said otherwise. If anything, they were a pinch fast, which isn't my tendency, but lately I've been trying to stay a bit more aggressive. I made the decision to move left and actually get around it a little bit more after the second 2-8-10, which looked better but wasn't able to get out the 10 in the 10th frame. "I'm very positive coming away from this right now, though. I've worked very hard, and right now, I feel like my game is in a very good place. I think this just gives me an extra boost of confidence going into the next couple of weeks." Crawley advanced to the title match after rolling a double in the final frame to shut out Bryanna Coté of Red Rock, Arizona, 210-196. In the opening round of Saturday's stepladder, Crawley delivered 11 strikes on the way to victory against Colom- bia's Maria José Rodriguez, 266-201. Competition this week at the PWBA Twin Cities Open included two eight-game qualifying blocks on Friday to determine the 32 players for Saturday's Round of 32. An additional eight-game block Saturday morning narrowed the field to 12 players, who bowled six additional games to determine the stepladder finalists. The 2019 PWBA Tour season will continue May 9 at the PWBA Lincoln Open. The event will be held at Sun Valley Lanes in Lincoln, Nebraska, with wire-to-wire coverage on BowlTV.

Here’s Why! by Fred Eisenhammer WINNETKA – So you’ve never bowled in a league? Or you’ve taken a break from a bowling league but want to get back in? This is a good time to start considering joining a league for the popular thee-month summer season. Bowling coordinators will start mapping plans within the next few weeks to patch together the requisite number of teams for their leagues. And space is tight! With many bowling centers closing or abandoning leagues, bowlers need to inquire early or they may find themselves squeezed out of a spot. Sami Rice, the co-coordinator of the “Guys and Dolls” league at Winnetka Bowl with husband Mike, says that her league is saturated with would-be entrants. So why bowl in leagues? Here is a list of 10 reasons to join a bowling league, courtesy of About.com, along with my comments: 1 – The Characters About.com: League bowling brings out some of the most colorful, interesting, baffling personalities in the world. You have no idea these people are in your community until you join a bowling league. From unbelievably talented bowlers to inexplicably strange humans, you get a cross-section of society you didn’t realize existed.

Fred Eisenhammer: Because there are so many characters, there is absolutely no shortage of individuals to write about. You never know when you encounter a bowling league icon like Ken Borshell among the mix of players. Borshell is someone who for 30 years traveled round-trip more than 200 miles just so he could bowl in Los Angeles on the same team as his good friends. Borshell hit the road from Bakersfield for seven years and then drove from Palm Desert for 23 years. 2 – Camaraderie About.com: Bowling leagues, especially with your friends (or strangers who will become your friends), are great ways to spend a few hours a week.

Fred Eisenhammer: It’s a great way to make friends, especially for widows and widowers. 3 – Fun About.com: Whether league bowling or not, it’s fun to bowl.

Fred Eisenhammer: Not only is it fun, but it’s exciting. Recently, anchor man Greg Kolski prepared to bowl in the10th frame of a league game knowing that the match was on the line. Kolski needed a mark to seal the victory for his team. Considering his average was a robust 186, Kolski’s teammates were feeling pretty confident. Then Kolski drilled a pocket shot that inexplicably left the imposing 6-7 split and it was apparent that the bowling gods had intervened to upset the norm. There were no groans from Kolski’s team. It was more like shock. Then Kolski threw his big hook for his second shot, and again it was another huge surprise. He clipped the 6 pin gently on the right side and the pin slid over and barreled into the 7 – an improbable shot that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. 4 – Gambling About.com: Small-time gambling is acceptable in most bowling leagues. Often, half your league fees go toward your bowling and the other half goes toward the prize fund. At the end of the season, you and your team will receive prize money based on where you finish. Individual prizes are usually up for grabs, too. Other ways to win a pittance during league bowling involve card games and strike pots.

Fred Eisenhammer: It’s not usually a tremendous sum of money that is up for grabs, but bowlers are a competitive group – and even a little money means a lot. To The Editor Dearest Carol Mancini and Steven Felege,

About.com: Never mind you’re counteracting the exercise portion while cutting into your prize fund – it’s delicious. I wonder how many bowlers are not aware of this story and would be willing to step up to help correct The List? Fred Eisenhammer: Don’t forget beer for those with an appreciation of that beverage. Both my husband and I have been league bowlers since 1992, starting at Java Lanes, and we call 7 – Television Cal Bowl our "house". My husband is the more advanced bowler, with many 300 games under his About.com: If bowling isn’t enough for you, many bowling centers have TVs playing whatever belt (some sanctioned, some in practice) those achievements are always an exciting and celebrated most of you want to watch (typically sports). Depending on the time of your league, you can watch event. entire hockey and baseball games while bowling. To deny Mr. Allison an acknowledgement of three 300 sanctioned games is absurd and outright Fred Eisenhammer: Hockey? No thanks.

Mr. Allison has earned, and deserves his name to top The List of 900 bowlers. 8 – United States Bowling Congress Membership About.com: You’ll be a part of the USBC, which costs about $20 a year (and is often hidden in your Not only will I be sending our local congress folks a letter demanding that they get involved with league fees, so you don’t even have to think about it if you don’t want to).

Considering how important and long-overdue this acknowledgement is, I think those who own the Fred Eisenhammer: Relaxation is nice in theory. Fact is, even a small pot of money at the end of bowling alleys should lead the charge and encourage bowlers to withhold their sanction card fees, the rainbow creates a competitive environment. And many bowlers feel the tension during the ninth until the USBC commits to unwinding the age old bogus "non-compliant" decision and put Mr. Al- and 10th frames. But competitiveness is a good thing. It’s fun to show that one can come through lison in the #1 position on "The List"! when the chips are down.

PBA50 continued from page 1 The win also marked the second time this season that Williams advanced all the way from the cashers round to reach the finals. He won the season-opening PBA50 Johnny Petraglia BVL Open by advancing from the cashers round. “Even though I’m bowling pretty well, I’ve been a little frustrated in qualifying,” Williams admitted. “In general, it seems like I’m not getting good pin carry until I get to match play for whatever reason.” Williams, who won the 2010 Senior Miller High Life Classic at Victory Lanes for his first PBA50 Tour title, was especially fortunate to advance to match play earlier Wednesday bowling a 256 in the final game of the cashers round to earn a spot in the first match play round. “All I can say is it’s crazy,” Williams said about his journey to the Mooresville Open title. “I didn’t expect to win the first three titles of the season, but it feels awesome.” Williams’ second win of the season came in last week’s PBA50 National Championship for his third career major title. The stepladder final, streamed live on FloBowling, began with No. 5 qualifier hall of famer Parker Bohn III of Jackson, New Jersey beating No. 4 qualifier Todd Kjell of Roscoe, Illinois, 196-181. Bohn, trying for his fifth PBA50 Tour title, then beat No. 3 qualifier Scott Greiner of Sunrise Beach, Missouri, 258-229, to advance to the semifinal match against Wise- man. Wiseman, who finished 10th in last week’s PBA50 Na- tional Championship, then beat Bohn 258-223 to advance to the title match against Williams. Greiner and Kjell were both trying for their first PBA50 Tour titles. The PBA50 Tour heads to Hamilton Lanes in Trenton, New Jersey for the PBA50 Hamilton Lanes & Entertain- ment Center Open presented by Columbia 300 May 3-5. Fans can catch all the action from start to finish via PBA’s online streaming partner FloBowling. For subscription and schedule information visit www.flobowling.com.
